This post has a lot of &#8220;dirty&#8221; words, they might just be bodily functions but anyone who has not had children may find themselves a bit squeamish after reading the following.<\/p>\n<p>So I invested in a new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000ETTVWA\/102-9239668-6959339\">potty bench<\/a> because I&#8217;m not sure what happened to Em&#8217;s but it was donated somewhere along the line, I think.  And A. has been very interested in all things potty lately. So I figured it can&#8217;t hurt, right?  But mostly it has been used as a little stepstool and not really for anything &#8220;potty.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But this morning as we were going into the bathroom and stripping Ad&#8217;s jammies off of her, she kept saying &#8220;Potty, Potty!&#8221; And I thought it was because Em was um, er&#8230;.&#8221;on the potty.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But just on the off chance that she had to go, I put A. on her new potty bench and before I knew it &#8211; I heard her actually&#8230;peeing!<\/p>\n<p>So we had quite the little party in the bathroom for her. We were all cheering for her (Emma loudest of all!), I took pictures and J. took video.   Emma kept standing over her instructing her how to &#8220;wipe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You go front to back, Addie!&#8221;  (She is taking her big sister role very seriously!)<\/p>\n<p>So we took the pee-pee to the potty and waved goodbye and Addie got to do her first flush. It was all very exciting. (I can tell you are all trembling with excitement!)<\/p>\n<p>But, wait! That is not the only potty news for the day &#8211; while we were in Target, she turned to me and exclaimed, &#8220;Poopy!&#8221;  Although we didn&#8217;t get to the bathroom &#8220;in time,&#8221; I&#8217;m thinking she is really starting to recognize what is happening there. So maybe it will all be a very smooth process?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/barelycontrolledchaos.files.wordpress.com\/2007\/02\/potty_time.jpg\" title=\"Yeah, Pee-pee!\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/barelycontrolledchaos.files.wordpress.com\/2007\/02\/potty_time.jpg\" title=\"Yeah, Pee-pee!\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/barelycontrolledchaos.files.wordpress.com\/2007\/02\/potty_time.jpg\" alt=\"Yeah, Pee-pee!\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Look at that proud little face!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, for anybody that does NOT have kids&#8230;you may want to stop reading now.
